I've just hung my washing out on the line

[NormaDesmondsEyebrows]

And the heavens have opened.

I'm not getting it in, as it can't get any wetter.

BIL is here and he's TWITCHING. He's asked us several times if we're sure we want to leave it. And keeps commenting that 'ooh it's really coming down now' and looking out at the garden.

I'm just glad he wasn't here at 7am when I got the darked on loads in...

I thought people who stressed about this kind of thing were just invented on MN. I didn't realise actual adults feel the need to rescue wet washing from the rain, or dry washing from the dark.

Aibu?

What's come over me? I was walking past some washing on the line about an hour ago and I had the sudden urge to unpeg it and take it indoors. It's not even my washing!!

rarely reached in the UK because we don't tend to have full on monsoons, and after that, when the rain stops; they start to dry.

You don't live in Scotland then.

I don't think rainwater can be that clean. It leaves marks on clean windows.

No rain forecast today, so I'm about to hang a load.

Not on my windows- where do you live?

Another one in Scotland who leaves washing out in all weathers. All rhe bedding got rained on yesterday but dried after the showers. Weirdly, ds gets really stressed when the washing is left out in the rain and tries to bring it in. He says he feels sorry for it! He's 15!!!!

My DCs school run involves walking through woodland. I have never been so scared when the usual little hill turned into a full on very fast river during such a downpour. It was dry and had just came out of nowhere. We couldn't go back. We'd get stuck. Couldn't stay. We'd get stuck. We had to keep going.

I'd hate to have to deal with that regularly.
